Feb 29th….
February 7, 2008So, I know I have been a little quiet.. not because I am depressed or anything.. just because life has been a little quiet and also, with all the loss and sadness in Blogland… I was sort of “taking a moment of silence”.
Today, I feel inspired to write a bit.. as good news is forthcoming. The above date.. what does it mean? That there is the day my dear ‘ol Dad closes escrow on his new double wide at a lovely senior park just 2 miles down the road from me!! Last night we went and took final look at it and filled out the offer paperwork. HOPEFULLY, in roughly 27 days my friends, Dad will have his own place, I will have my place back and all will be well in my world. The place is very nice and though it needs some cosmetic touch-ups (the cabinets are old) but, it has had some remodeling. It is the perfect size for him and the community is very nice and clean 
My dad’s credit is JACKED from being married to the Biotch. You see, the Biotch didn’t believe in paying credit cards on time, or car payments, or anything for that matter.. so, his credit has suffered tremendously. BUT, the owner of this place is willing to finance if my dad puts 1/2 down. NOT A PROBLEM… so, this couldn’t be working out any better. I also get to purge some of my belongings that I don’t want/need anymore since Dad has nothing. I am halving my towel supply, sheet supply, plastic t*upperware supply, dishes, etc… I have a coffee table sitting in the garage that he can have and my dining room table, I had plans to turn the dining area into a play area/desk area and get a small set for the kitchen to eat on. I never have company over my house as the parking here sucks so really the dining room table has become place for the cats to rest. Bye Bye table…..Anyway, I hope it works out.
As for me, I am just waiting on CD1 so I can start BCP’s and get ready for my FET. I am NOT TELLING ANYONE IRL. Only because I can’t deal with questions. Also, if it fails I don’t want to hear anything from anyone (no matter how good the intentions) about just moving towards adoption. It is on my plate to look into and prep the house for, but I do not feel like discussing it. Not to mention, I will probably try 1 more fresh after this and I don’t like listening to my mother worry about how much all of this is costing. Which leads me to life lately. I don’t think I have been THIS frugal in a long time. It feels nice, I am proud of myself. It is amazing that I really don’t need to grocery shop for like a month, with the exception of milk Good practice for when I am mom
There ya go.. see I told you my life is boring as of late.. There should be birthday pix up soon from Sunday. Well, that is about it my friends!! Happy Thursday!!!
You are moving right along miss thang!
I’m proud of you~ whooop, cheer!
Whoohooo on dad finding a place. While I’m sure it’s been great having some dad time, it will be nice to have your house back too. I know what you mean about explaining yourself and how much money you spend to others. I feel like I’m there too. I hope the FET works though so it won’t be an issue. Hugs to you.
change, transformation, the next steps on life’s journey… sometimes it is easier to face those things alone or with just a few close confidants. whatever you need, though, girl, we’re here for you.
Wait! Birthday pix? YOUR birthday? Did I miss your birthday??
I’m glad your dad is getting on.
It takes a lot of courage to move on, so pleased you are able to do the FET. Let’s hope the outcome will be fantastic next time.
T,
Good to hear your status. I understand and agree about the keeping quiet this time around. Myself, I am getting ready to post a few details about my plans after I get back from yet another work conference. But I don’t plan to log each detail either, simply because from a sanity prospective it can make for more stress. So Happy about your Dad he is LUCKY to have you in his life.
Glad to hear your dad found a place… and yeah for the FET!!!!
I understand the pain of seeing happy families and wishing/wondering when it will be your turn…
Glad Dad is finally getting his own place. Sounds like he will be close by and just far enough away all at the same time!
Girl, it’s nobody’s business what you spend your money on. And if you are not ready to stop trying, then DON’T! It’s your timeline and your money, and you can do what you want. AFter all, persistence pays off. I pray the FET goes very well. Please keep us posted!
I agree with you. On my second FET I didn’t tell a soul about it, not even my mum (and I tell her everything). No one knew until we were pregnant, and I didn’t even tell work until nearly 16w. It’s just not worth the drama! Do whatever makes you feel most comfortable. Good luck on this cycle hon. xoxo
So glad things are moving along with you Dad and that he’ll still be close. I’m also glad to hear that you’re trying again…I get why you wouldn’t tell people…it makes sense. Have a good rest of your weekend!
